The Big Game in Alberta: DraftKings opens pre-registration ahead of the official launch of the market
The well-known gambling operator DraftKings has officially confirmed its plans to develop the digital gambling space in the Canadian province of Alberta. The company is preparing for the full launch of its services, which will coincide with the opening of the regulated iGaming market in the region.
Key Dates and Opportunities for Players
The official start of licensed online gambling in Alberta is scheduled for July 13. However, DraftKings decided to be proactive: residents of the province can already go through the pre-registration procedure. This option is available for both sports betting enthusiasts in the DraftKings Sportsbook app and gambling connoisseurs at DraftKings Casino.
High competition in the region
Alberta promises to become one of the hottest markets in North America. At the moment, 55 operators have already announced their desire to obtain a local licence. DraftKings will have to fight for the audience with industry heavyweights such as:
- FanDuel and BetMGM;
- Caesars and BetRiver;
- theScore Bet;
- International players: Super Group, Soft2Bet and HighRoller Technologies.
